The Flaming Lips and Mike Gordon of Phish are among the acts that will perform at Waterfront Park at the Grand Point North festival presented Sept. 12-13 by Vermont rocker Grace Potter, concert promoters Higher Ground announced this morning.

Potter recently revealed her upcoming solo project without longtime band the Nocturnals. "Each night will close with a full set from Potter's new band, featuring both new and old faces," according to a news release from Higher Ground.

"I've got a killer new band featuring plenty of familiar Nocturnal faces and songs, as well as some new fireballs!" Potter said in the Higher Ground news release.

The Flaming Lips will play Burlington for the first time since a 2006 show at the University of Vermont. Wayne Coyne, front man for the psychedelic rockers, has collaborated with Potter on a song for the 2012 Tim Burton-directed Disney film "Frankenweenie" as well as a 2014 Flaming Lips tribute album to The Beatles.

Gordon, bass player for Vermont-born jam-rockers Phish, will go on tour in June with a band that includes Craig Myers of Burlington-based world-music group Barika. Also on the bill for the two-day festival on the shores of Lake Champlain are Shakey Graves, Greensky Bluegrass, Spirit Family Reunion, Amy Helm & the Handsome Strangers, Marco Benevento and Odessa.

Grand Point North also puts local acts in prominent slots on its twin stages. Vermont performers scheduled for this year's festival include Madaila, Soule Monde, Heavy Plains, Maryse Smith with Michael Chorney, The Snaz, Barishi and Mal Maiz. Potter said in the news release that there will be additional lineup announcements.
